Very smooth and well coordinated. It's also a HUGE space, plenty of room for over 1000 people. Our event had about 600 and we only used about half of the room.

    Huge venue that offers plenty of various events for all types of likes and hobbies of people. My fave that I go to every year is the southern Christmas show. The building is rather old but I think the upkeep has been good over the years.

    I went to the Southern Christmas Show, wonderful experience! So many vendors and selection! I don't normally start my Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving, but got most of it done in a few hours!

    No one was wearing a mask. No one was even remotely bothered by the millions of people already dead by a raging pandemic. only saving grace for the star is that there's a generous amount of parking.

    way to pricey for what the show was...i went to pay at the door for collect a con...4 tickets 200 dollars plus 10 dollars to park...walked through the entire show in about 30 minutes...very disapointed...hardly any food vendors i think there were 2 vendors and they sold donuts and pretzels and popcorn...the one grill place ( owned by the building) was crazy expensive . ..a soda out of the machine was 3.50 .. never again...the building is about the size of a smaller walmart..actually feel a little taken advantage of because my daughter is into anime...no way were the 500 vendors there .i woukd say 30 at the most...total rip off...was so boring my daughter only wanted to sray for about an hour and a half and she was super excited to go...i think she was even disappointed in it ..hey Collect a con !!...Do a better job next time.. i would feel ashamed to charge that kind of money for that poor quality of a show ..shame on you..the biggest excitement for my daughter was to see other visitirs dressed as anime characters...its a shame that was the highlight of her time there... As i said...Never Again for this dad...collect a con...was a con..no doubt about it..at least they were honest about the Con part...lol

    Attended the Southern Christmas Show and had a great time. Lots of vendors to see. Performances on stage were great. A lot of new vendors were there. Parking cost $10.00 and has to be cash, a bit steep if you ask me. Then you have to pay admittance to get in on top of the parking. Harris Teeter has discount tickets if you plan to go. The Shrines were offering free golf cart rides from the outlying parking areas, which was helpful, give them a generous donation if you take the ride.

    Facility was spacious and looked well maintained. Was good to see a number of Lego ideas and that kids could just join in! I did hope that an area would be set up for miscellaneous pieces; you know when you have a figure that missing a piece and someone has the piece that would fit. Perhaps an equal trade or fair price? Also, only one grouupon ticket was checked. Odd.

    The admission price is too high there really wasn't any entertainment $16:plus parking for the privilege to shop?!? I'm sure the rent for the vendors is also high so there prices were high driving into the place was awful backed up on the expressway

    Several big events held here that are worth checking out... the Annual Christmas Show, Annual Spring Show and I just attended the RV show. Plenty of space to comfortably house big events like this, though your feet will be letting you know at the end of the day.

    Loved the Christmas Vendors. Parking was rough, some parkers didn't take card, also the fee to get is was a bit high. We loved the overall experience.

    Plenty if parking and lots of space but this place is so old and unkept that still having people vendor here for days is alarming bc I know this place could use a major update
